The troughs would have to be a little deeper (farther from the pan mounting flange) on the 235, as it has a slightly longer stroke by 3/16", so the troughs would need to be 3/32" deeper. Lay a straightedge across the pan flange and measure from there down to the troughs.

[on edit] The parts manual indicates there's no difference between engines on the spray oilers. The 235 for 54 went to full pressure oiling. See attached.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
